Answer:
x = 1, x = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
Given 
Use substitution

Square previous equality:

Substitute it into the equation:

Solve this quadratic equation:

Note that

then

so

Solve this equation using substitution

Thus,
![u+\dfrac{1}{u}=\dfrac{5}{2}\\ \\2u^2+2=5u\ \ [\text{Multiplied by 2u}]\\ \\2u^2-5u+2=0\\ \\D=(-5)^2-4\cdot 2\cdot 2=25-16=9\\ \\\sqrt{D}=3\\ \\u_{1,2}=\dfrac{-(-5)\pm 3}{2\cdot 2}=\dfrac{5\pm 3}{4}=2,\ \dfrac{1}{2}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=u%2B%5Cdfrac%7B1%7D%7Bu%7D%3D%5Cdfrac%7B5%7D%7B2%7D%5C%5C%20%5C%5C2u%5E2%2B2%3D5u%5C%20%5C%20%5B%5Ctext%7BMultiplied%20by%202u%7D%5D%5C%5C%20%5C%5C2u%5E2-5u%2B2%3D0%5C%5C%20%5C%5CD%3D%28-5%29%5E2-4%5Ccdot%202%5Ccdot%202%3D25-16%3D9%5C%5C%20%5C%5C%5Csqrt%7BD%7D%3D3%5C%5C%20%5C%5Cu_%7B1%2C2%7D%3D%5Cdfrac%7B-%28-5%29%5Cpm%203%7D%7B2%5Ccdot%202%7D%3D%5Cdfrac%7B5%5Cpm%203%7D%7B4%7D%3D2%2C%5C%20%5Cdfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D)
Now,

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope of line through (-9,6) and (-6,-9) = (-9 - 6)/(-6 - (-9)) = (-15)/(3) = -5
point-slope equation for line of slope -5 that passes through (-9,6):
y-6 = -5(x+9)
I believe the least common denominator is six.
Hello and Good Morning/Afternoon:
<u>Let's take this problem step-by-step</u>:
<u>Let's consider the information given</u>:
- rental price: $30 + $0.30/mile
- total bill for Ken: $55.20
<u>Let's setup an equation for the cost</u>
- set 'x' as number of miles traveled

- set that equal to the total cost or bill and solve

Ken must have traveled 84 miles
<u>Answer: 84 miles</u>
<u></u>
Hope that helps!
